 * Keep. Confusingly organized list of work, needs cleanup, article needs expansion. But, seems to meet WP:CREATIVE both through authorship of notable books from the 1990s that are missing articles including This Far from Paradise and Days of Drums, and Last Rights (book), not to mention the book with Robert Ludlum; as well as more recently as a screenwriter of Mechanic: Resurrection and Survivor (film). Might also meet WP:BASIC we have an in-depth profile,, plus many book reviews, many of which have smaller amounts of SIGCOV about the subject. &mdash;siro&chi;o 19:28, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are lots of book reviews coming up in the Ebsco search, sufficient to meet WP:AUTHOR. Espresso Addict (talk) 02:07, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep The article is poorly formatted and in need of serious cleanup but the article meets GNG guidelines and should not be deleted. Go4thProsper (talk) 10:08, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
